Is "Regime Change" The End Game In Libya?
— DrewM

What's the outcome of this mission? According to Marc Ambinder's sources, getting rid of Qadaffi.

End game? Admin official says: "we have multiple scenarios, but none of them end with Qadaffi in power."

Might be nice if the President mentioned that at some point, no?

As for the US military role, right now according Vice Adm. William Gortney, Director of the Joint Staff we're taking the lead but will hand it over to our allies soon.

But echoing comments made by President Obama this afternoon, Gortney said the United States will bring its “unique capabilities” to the front end of the operation to enable the enforcement of a no-fly zone led by international partners. Gortney acknowledged that the U.S. military command and control and logistics capabilities could be tapped for the operation, as well as its aerial refueling tanker fleet.

The airstrikes began after the sun had set in Libya, delaying the damage assessment for several hours. Once coalition forces confirm that LibyaÂ’s surface to air assets have been taken out, the U.S. military could deploy Global Hawk unmanned surveillance aircraft for the assessment, in addition to other assets, Gortney said. That would presumably include satellite imagery.

The coalition includes U.S., British, French, Italian and Canadian forces, in addition to other countries—including Arab nations—who have asked not to be named publicly yet.

Meanwhile, the President explains from Rio why we are doing this.

I am deeply aware of the risks of any military action, no matter what limits we place on it. I want the American people to know that the use of force is not our first choice and itÂ’s not a choice that I make lightly. But we cannot stand idly by when a tyrant tells his people that there will be no mercy, and his forces step up their assaults on cities like Benghazi and Misurata, where innocent men and women face brutality and death at the hands of their own government.

...I've acted after consulting with my national security team, and Republican and Democratic leaders of Congress. And in the coming hours and days, my administration will keep the American people fully informed. But make no mistake: Today we are part of a broad coalition. We are answering the calls of a threatened people. And we are acting in the interests of the United States and the world.

This whole notion of "acting in the interests of the United States" is simply argument by assertion. What interests? How will the US be impacted at all if Gadaffi stays or goes?

If there's any "doctrine" here it's, "We are answering the calls of a threatened people." If that's really the standard we better hope like hell the North Koreans, Cubans, Chinese, Saudis, et al don't manage to get on Skype and get people on their side. If they do, we may find ourselves in a lot of wars.

Amazing that this is the President who went out for ice cream while Iranians were begging for some supportive words while they were being slaughtered by their government but now we jump into a war with no debate and no discussion of the parameters or end state.

2 Not to be a dick, but who are the rebels and who's leading them?  I have heard a few opinions that al Qaeda or the Muslim Brotherhood may be involved on the ground.  Do we really want to dump Qadaffi - which I'm all for - so AQ of the MB can step in?

6 As long as it ends with 'regime change' and does not continue on into 'nation building' I'm not wildly unhappy.

There is an element of the rebels being the devil we don't know, of course; Qadafi has been a devil, but a fairly well contained one in recent years.

24 1.  Is Gadaffi an illegitimate ruler?
       If so....precisely when did he become illegitimate?  He has been in power there for some 40 years....and asI understand it, he had been a bit of a favorite at the UN...having, as he did, a spot on the UN committee on Human rights.

2.  When an insurgent group attempts armed insurrection against a legitimate government....is that government expected to meekly acquiesce, or is it reasonable that they employ force to surpress the uprising?

3.  When, exactly, is the no-fly zone going to be imposed over Barain?  I understand that they are "killing their own people" there.  How about Yemen?

I have never had a good feeling about Gadaffi.....someone could have put a bullet into him any time and I wouldn't have lost a bit of sleep.  I was really hoping that we would have wiped him out when we conducted those air strikes all those years ago...

Nonetheless, I have a very bad feeling about this intervention....

To say nothing of the UN's philosophical underpinning for their decision to authorize force....very, very shaky!

34 In addition to the Air Force it took the Army and Marines to remove Saddam Hussein from power.  And after that it still took several months to find him.  In Afghanistan we had the Northern Alliance to side with.  I am concerned this administration will end up siding with terrorist organizations to remove Qadaffi just to finish what has now been started.

You aren't being a dick (at least in this comment), but who gives a shit about the rebels? They are cutthroat Islamists who hate America and will foment terrorism, just like Qaddafi. The only good thing to come of this is tha shot at making sure Qaddafi hangs by a lamp post at the hands of his own people, or gets blown into little pieces by one of our toys that go boom.

38 Is this the same guy who joined John Kerry in criticizing Bush's "rush to war"? I am positive there is a speech in which "regime change" was criticized by Obama.

Qaddafi has been in power for decades. Why only now have our "national interests" become jeopardized by his further rule? He's going to commit atrocities? He's committed atrocities for decades to a yawning Western press.He has supported terror groups from his first day as dictator.Hell, he and Obama were practically pals. Did the cuff links Qaddafi sent him for the Inauguration start turning green or something?

What are the terms of victory in this military action? Qaddafi's forces dug in around the capital and the rebels dispersed elsewhere? Stalemate, in other words, which means Qaddafi will bide his time until the West gets tired of it, which it inevitably does, then he will proceed to reconsolidate power, committing atrocities as he goes.So, if regime change is not the goal then this whole exercise is a waste of time and money and is not worth the life of a single service man or woman.

But it is obvious what this is all about. For Bill, it was Monica .. for The Won, it is all about reelection.

I was just reading the War Powers act...

SEC. 2. (c) The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

He then must report to Congress what he did, and why, in certain timeframes... but from what I read, 2.C LIMITS the President...

And I sure don't see any of those conditions applying... as there is no National Emergency, and OUR Territories are not threatened.

Posted by: Flapjackmaka at March 19, 2011 02:17 PM (c5RQr)

72 We can't spend a couple weeks b---hing at Obama because he's not doing anything and then knock him for getting involved.

I will continue to b---h at him because, if he was going to do this, he should have done this a while ago.  By now, it's probably difficult to accomplish anything without ground troops.  Yeah, I don't think it's realistic to get rid of Qaddafi at this point unless you actually want to invade.  He's a fool if he thinks that.  And his statements to that effect are idiotic--maybe he's trying to establish a bargaining chip, but I can't imagine Qaddafi takes that seriously.  He just winds up looking weak.

As far as America's interest, though (and that if we're going topple one dictatorship we need be topple a bunch more of them)--this is the same argument liberals had over Iraq.  We have limitations in our abilities.  By all means, I see the argument that we can't do everything.  There's merit to that argument.  It doesn't follow that we should not engage in actions like this, merely because we can't take care of all of these instances, especially when there are tens if not hundreds of thousands of lives on the line and especially when it would get rid of a guy who's long been a thorn in America's side.  Just because you can't solve every injustice and stop all massacres in the world doesn't mean you cease trying to stop them at all.

O doesn't learn from his mistakes.  He set a timeline on closing Gitmo and on ending Afghanistan.  Along with Libya now, what these all have in common is that O, or even the US, don't have complete control of the factors that will determine the timing.

Air strikes by Western forces near Libya's city of Misrata have attacked a military airport where Muammar Gaddafi's loyalists are based, two residents have told Reuters, denying reports on Libyan state TV that fuel depots were hit.



Muammar Gaddafi's loyalists? Do they mean the army of the Libyan government?  Last  I checked they are the ones that run the STATE  TV.  Let's be honest here. We are there to support a rebellion against the current government.

Clinton, in Paris for a conference to determine the next steps against Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi, said Washington viewed Arab countries and particularly those in the Gulf as key to the campaign's success.

147 Simple.  If you don't have a mission or a goal, then you cannot fail and you cannot be criticized for not achieving what you set out to do.  Then, when there are signs of positive results and the landscape is clear, you can swoop in and claim that you have accomplished something that you set out to do. 

Fits his profile.  Let others commit and lead and then swoop in and claim credit - that it was all part of your master plan.

If you don't commit, you cannot disappoint (except for those you don't care about committing or disappointing in the first place).

174 I'm still trying to figure out who the Arab coalition fighters are in this fiasco. Are the people in those countries taking the same revolutionary tea as those in Libya and Egypt? So our  allies now will become our enemies in a few weeks? Are they there helping so they learn 'em some tactics we use for when we go after them? Oh soooooo confusing. What a tangled web this is.

I can accept a limited amount of engagement if that's the case; otherwise, I don't see why we had to get involved here, since we don't even know if the rebels are any better than Qadaffi.

the difference is that Bush got Congress's OK to invade Iraq...

War powers act gives the President some leeway, but not Carte Blanche to do anything he wants.

President needs either a decleration of war (wwII), authorization by Congress (Iraq and Afganistan) OR National Emergency, OR American troops, or Territory must be in danger (or an allies IF there is a Ratified defense pact with them).

I really do not see how helping Rebels in Libya is covered under the War Powers Act, without cover from Congress.

Give me a break, Kratos.  For a long time you've had some quoteworthy and or drink-through-my-nose laughworthy comments here at AoS...

Posted by: Uncle Jefe at March 19, 2011 03:11 PM (CMPXK)

214

As per Wiki: Libya: about 6.5 million people, roughly 90% in 3 coastal cities, with about 90% of the country essentially uninhabited (and borderline habitable). Effectively, the neighbors are the ones also on the coast: Egypt, Tunisia and Algeria.  The rest are on the other side of the Sahara desert, and with few access points, and they usually don't pass as Libyans.

I see failure due to political reasons as very much more likely than due to military reasons.


Let's simplify the Libyan Question:

Since it looks like there is a good chance for regime change in Libya, what are the potential outcomes, ordered by most favorable to the US and allies, to the least?

1. Q retains power.

 Q. is a more-or-less known quantity, but if he stays in power, he will be much more of a problem. He knows how to run a country, at least better than the Muslim Brotherhood, and he knows how to deal with the West, at least businesses that like his money.  His oil brings him lots of money, so he can afford to cause all sorts of trouble: rent mercenaries from Chad, Sudan, Niger, ... (real popular with the Libyans), finance & harbor terrorists, pursue nukes again, funnel hundreds of thousands of refugees through Libya to Europe.


2. Egypt, and maybe Algeria invade, and partition Libya.

 Might happen.  But Egypt is in political turmoil, and may yet become an Islamic regime.


3. Islamists, most likely the MB, manage to take over, or obtain heavy influence in the new Libyan regime. My guess is that they will in fact do what I suspect Q. might do, only on a larger scale.

However, the MB has never run a country, and judging by the way Islamists run their concerns, they are inept and, like just about all tribalists, will end up fighting over the Libyan oil money and "people" money, like a dog over the piece of meat the other dog has. The sizable majority of the ~6.5 million Libyans are quite well aware of Europe's standard of living: cell phones, the internet, etc. How likely is it that they will give these things up to become Shari'a-compliant?


I see Q as a very-serious-but-short-term threat.  I think he, or his sons, will try for PanAm 103 Parts 2 - ... simply for revenge. Let's end this before it happens.

The MB or other Islamists are a very serious long-term threat, but they are marginally competent. Worst case, giving them control of Libya (the keys to the car) will result in Libya being driven into a ditch within a year.

Egyptians are also aware of Western "stuff", and the lab experiment of Libya, Right Next Door, just might wake up many Egyptians, Algerians and Tunisians.

This is a big risk, but it helps blunt the Islamist cause in the Muslim world.

The liberal media is orgasmic over the thoughtful reasoning of Obama to halt the wanton killing of innocents in Lybia, however, Bush the Butcher created an unlawful coalition that attacked the innocent Iraqi people for the purpose of evening the score for the attempted murder of GHW Bush, and to steal Iraqi oil.  Only elitist liberals have sufficient brain function to analyze these events, and conservatives should continue as Barack Obama said, "to sit down and shut up."

But here Obama is using similar words as Bush did on the same day 8 years later. He's pointing out the irony. That's how I took it anyway. I agree with your point that Obama bypassed everything (debate, speeches, going before Congress, etc) that led up to Operation Iraqi Freedom. I took it in the same manner that people sarcastically have pointed out that here we have Obama "going to war for oil" just like the Left accused Bush of doing in Iraq. I don't read Lefty blogs, so I have no idea how they are reacting to all this. But, if they were consistent, they would be as enraged about Obama's actions here as they were about Bush's actions RE: Iraq. Something tells me, though, that they aren't planning "anti-war" rallies where they call Obama a war-monger, terrorist and hang him in effigy.

4. U.N seems to be able to have authority control over our military actions. (what's righteous war to them after slapping us around for dozens of years)

5. Arab League. poleaaase they care about the Lybians lives? er whatever

6.Has Lybia threatened us or paid for terrorists to kill americans or allies? not clear

7. fiscal circumstances of the U.S.

8. saving our resources against much scarier countries as NK , Iran,

9. if the reasons we are going in are humanitarian , (laudable ) but why not NK, Yemen, darfur, somalia, etc. etc.

10. why not let Europe take care of their interests, and Help save the citizens that are in danger. We are in two wars are they helping us?

Obama had everything bad to say like any good leftist did about Bush's murderous war, as did his cohorts and political party. so i'm a little bit cranky that I am to be supportive of this action which i find no american benefit in, with exception of doing a good deed, (if it doesn't end up a hezbollah , hamas run state ) and as we've seen from last year on Iran citizens were ignored, yemen? and others  but this seems to be where a line that i cannot see is drawn for Obama to act. so there's my mind bend.

257 I really do not see how helping Rebels in Libya is covered under the War Powers Act, without cover from Congress. Posted by: Romeo13 at March 19, 2011 07:09 PM I really do not see how most things Obama and the Democrats have done the last 2+ years are covered under our US Constitution and other laws. So this is consistent in their actions the last 2+ years. Nothing they do surprises me anymore. Neither does it surprise me that the Left and the MF-ing media don't hold them to the same standards to which they held Bush and the GOP from 2000-2008. And it is exactly because of that, that Obama and the Democrats continue to act in the manner that they do. Why bother following the rules if no one bothers to hold you accountable? If the refs aren't throwing flags for holding, why would an O-lineman stop holding? Same applies here.

Sheik Qaradawai, Muslim Brotherhood member and chief Sunni cleric, has called for the murder of Kaddafy. But then again, he's spelling it "Gaddhafie", so it could be a totally different guy.

But why should it matter that we ally ourselves with Islamists? What matters is that we're in the game, right? Here is Charles Krauthammer letting loose with the Neocon crie de couer- "We must attack everything, Now!":

While they're using Kleenex to clean up after their circle jerk with their dream of a neutered United States, I hope France and the United Nations somehow suffer uncountable casualties.  They dreamt of a post-superpower world, by all means, let them have it. And if this drags on long enough, taking up scant valuable European resources and hastening the death of EU, then all the better.

And if by chance, some UN mission happens to get the Lockerbie bomber who's probably still recuperating, I can live with that too.

Wright and is a darling of the Chicago communist crowd (yes, I said communist). The ONLY reason Obama has USA involved in military action is because the French and British had decided to go forward. If the French and British weren't going to do anything, Obama damn sure wasn't going to do anything, despite Hillary's compaining BUT, once the French and British decided to move forward, Obama decided he could not weather the political consequences of sitting on the sidelines and looking weaker than the French.

322 First Farrakhan, now Moore.  Aww...Bambi's got no friends...

From The Hill

Anti-war filmmaker Michael Moore tore into President Obama for taking military action in Libya on Saturday.

Moore, a frequent critic of President Bush for launching the Iraq War, unleashed a string on tweets comparing the U.S. military's mission in Libya to Iraq and Afghanistan, using a mantra coined by Charlie Sheen:

It's only cause we're defending the Libyan people from a tyrant! That's why we bombed the Saudis last wk! Hahaha. Pentagon=comedy

And we always follow the French's lead! Next thing you know, we'll have free health care & free college! Yay war!

We've had a "no-fly zone" over Afghanistan for over 9 yrs. How's that going? #WINNING !

Khadaffy must've planned 9/11! #excuses

Khadaffy must've had WMD! #excusesthatwork

From deWon while he's in Brazil...

In particular, with the new oil finds off Brazil, President Rousseff has said that Brazil wants to be a major supplier of new stable sources of energy, and I've told her that the United States wants to be a major customer, which would be a win-win for both our countries.

No, you simpering ass.  It is not a win for the US.   A win for the US would be your ass out of the WH, and the US finally drilling everyfuckingwhere possible.

341 THIS IS IT??? THIS IS NATO WAGING WAR????....AFTER 2 WEEKS OF DELIBERATION  - 100 CRUISE MISSILES A DAY AND FRENCH JETS KNOCKING OUT 4 TANKS???.....THIS IS IT????....AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE GADHAFI DUCK???.....ARE WE SERIOUS???

I apologize for yelling folks, but let's just go home. Right now. If we're serious about going to war with Libya, then we go in immediately with everything we have and attack relentlessly  and remorselessly  - cruise missiles, planes (hundreds of them) which drop their bombs, fly back to Italy, Malta or the carriers they came from, re-arm, and then fly the next sortie, and then the sortie after that, and the sortie after that, and so on  24 X 7. At least both Bush Presidents got THAT part of warfare right!!!!

If we're going to have some sort of fucking "graduated response" the way we did in Vietnam, where drop a bomb and see what the enemy thinks about THAT, then let's just pack everything up and go home. We're wasting our time and unnecessarily endangering the lives of our pilots.

I have to laugh. In the Gulf Wars (and Afghanistan) the MSM was so busy fellating Colin Powell, they came up with what they called the 'Powell Doctrine'. Remember that? When you attack another country, you go in from the start with absolutely overwhelming force - and never cease.

Wow! How radical! As though a fucking caveman couldn't figure out (and actually implemented) such a strategy!  But no. According to the MSM this was an entirely new, and unheard of concept for successfully waging war.

But now, with Obama purportedly in charge, let's hold back and revert to what liberals always do when they go to war. Show how compassionate they are. How concerned  they are about (gulp!) killing people.

Absolutely guaranteed?  Next step, we're going to cease bombing Libya in order to force Gadhafi to the negotiating table. Which leads to the question - Why the fuck should there even be a negotiating table??

BTW: If I sound thoroughly disgusted at this turn of events....it's because I am.

343 Watch the Farrakhan video at Drudge. Classic! Exit question: How much $$$ has Q'Daffy "loaned" to Farrakhan? A: At least $5 million. And according to NYT: "Clinton Administration officials said today that they would almost certainly reject an application from the Nation of Islam and its leader, Louis Farrakhan, to be allowed to accept a donation of more than $1 billion from Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi of Libya." Like I said, Obama wanted no part of this. The French pushed him and he could not afford to look "weaker" than the French. Interesting days ahead...

Obama is a damned liar (which you already knew). I believe this is being done for two reasons: shoring up oil for the Euros (especially the frogs, who jumped on the rebel bandwagon early) and his sagging poll number.

FYBO.

448 Just chill on the thinking that Obama will commit to ground forces yet.

They have already received their orders. They know where they are going. They already got the winning the hearts and minds speech. Or as it was put to me, the "BS winning the hearts and minds speech," because they are Marines and they want to fight and that other stuff is for the Army. I will say no more about it.

Of course, a lot of things can change between now and then so it's possible that it won't happen, but don't be shocked when you see US Marines in Libya.

505 The spring here is more gorgeous than I can remember.  And the freaking pollen is killing me.  You can literally see a haze of pollen in the air.  I made the mistake of putting the top down on the ragtop on the way back from mine and the kid's Parris Island shopping trip yesterday.  Between the pollen and controlled burn acrid smoke in low country SC, it killed me.

592 Step 1. Declare war on Libya Step 2. Go on vacation Step 3. Mission Accomplished? Finally, at long last, this asswipe has done something truly unprecedented as President- the Commander in Chief has sent American men in women into harms way and gone on vacation. And here I thought that it was not possible for this jackass to disgust me any further. This, by orders of magnitude, goes beyond the usual "what if Bush had done this" or, what has become typical of Obama, dereliction of duty. Seriously, are we, the American public, going to stand by and accept it while a Commander in Chief phones in a war? If I am ever present when someone starts in on Bush about the "My Pet Goat" thing, I will punch them. If there were any doubt before, let this settle the argument: Obama thinks that his job as President is to go on vacation and live it up on our dime... and nothing else. What is more disgusting to me is that 52% of Amerian voters thought that they could expect more from someone who's first full time job in life was being President. Perhaps it's time for someone to tell this fuck that work does not begin at 9:30 am, end at 3pm, and work time does not include Wed. parties, golf, vacations at least once per month, speeches to contributiors or the DNC, or any of the other nonsense he occupies his seemingly endless free time with. No, it is not acceptable or humorous for the President to turn press conferences over to Clinton because he has a party to go to. And even more disgusting: the media and Republicans are completely mum on all of this. Fuck every last one of them. If you're not willing or able to do your jobs, then I expect your resignation, not yet another vacation.

605 Finally, at long last, this asswipe has done something truly unprecedented as President- the Commander in Chief has sent American men in women into harms way and gone on vacation.

Yesterday, returning from San Diego via Atlanta, there were a number of young Army men on the plane. All with freshly shaven heads. And, by young men, I mean little boys. I simply cannot get over how young they are.

As I did upon seeing them then, I do now say a prayer for their safety.

 don't understand why some of you aren't seeing the moon as way more bright and also appearing larger than it usually does. Even two nights ago here in the Seattle area it was pretty awesome looking. Maybe it's one of those latitude things or something?

It's just because we only see it a couple of times a year. I was downtown today and the hipsters were tying themselves to posts so they don't get sucked into space.

also feel let down that republicans that have been in office for a whie have not said anything about the attacks on the population, the haranguing, the name calling by the presdients men , the intimidation by labeling us and others possible terrorist for political or personal biews.

Yes, but not in the same way. A number of other presidents have attacked the rich and some would argue certain populations, but Clinton was one of the first to start attacking we conservatives in this way. Still, there has always been animus between political parties and they have long accused each other of some wretched and horrible things.

As for politicians speaking-out, I see and hear more because I've "subscribed" to the Facebook feeds of some movers-&-shakers and I've seen some of the pressers they hold on CSPAN. The two parties hold press conferences in which they attack each other all the time, but they never make the nightly news. I have come to realize that the MBM can say that, if they don't cover it, it didn't happen. Still wish some of them were more forthright in public about defending us, but some do it more than people know.

I hate to say this- but I don't support the troops. How can I when there has not been articulated a clear mission? Of course I don't want to see casualties and won't slander our soldiers. But this has gone too far. We have had for some time, a completely out of control foreign policy and a State Department that seems in many ways to be acting in spite of our interests and in some cases clearly against them. Get ready to accomodate yourselves to the hordes of North African "freedom fighters" that we'll be expected to welcome with open arms- we'll be feeding them soon and training them to take over our jobs.

678 @704 As others said, support for the troops should be unconditional. That said, there's a part of me that thinks we're getting to the point where large amount of our fine men and women in uniform need to start questioning orders from or supposed CinC (on vacation), particularly the folks in the top ranks. Personally, i'm to the point were I would fully support our military telling the jackass to shove it.

I'm not sure how this will work.

I read all the comments up to 719. I also join in the drinking and watching the moon. Somehow that and the tree out back fit in nicely.

This blog has it's own sense of humor. Sometimes it's juvinille(?), sometimes its dark & skary. Socks (I think that is wat ya'll call it) make it difficutl to figure out sometimes.

The troops are our son's and daughters. Our neighbors sons & daughers. They are not robots, but real life people. They have they're doubts and concerns. they also leave they're sons and daughters behind.

They have faith that the polliiticians, as a whole, will not sacrafice their lives for politicial gain.  Some times this is not he case.

We take our selves seriously ( with abit of humor), but all know what it CAN mean.

They are the ones that give ya'll (me too) the freedom to say what we will. and with the internet, etc. to have it sent all over the world.

No.Ya'll desire not to respect he pre  sent. Do so in your own way.

Do not disrespect or tar the US military  with that brush.

I thank them for the freedom to make this post.

Hey Sartana, get fucked.

The Troops are kicking ass and taking names, with one hand tied behind their backs.  And I support them wholeheartedly, because they are killing wannabe-jihadis on a daily basis. 

I don't know who the fuck you are or where you came from, but I support The Troops 100%, in spite of the shit 'leadership' that currently controls foreign policy, whatever that means as of 11:30pm Pacific, March 19th 2011.

They are fighting for civilization, believe it or not, with the political odds stacked against them.  What they are doing might make it easier for my kids, but that's out of The Troops' hands because of milquetoast fag ass liberals who are actively trying to take our nation down.

String that fat fuck mikey moore up and skin him, along with a whole bunch of anti-American bastards who make their $$ off the security that The Troops give them, day in and out.

God Bless the Troops, and God Bless America.

May we please know the names and addresses of all of the Arab countries that
are contributing to this oust K-Daffy operation? NO! We will only give you those names later, after we see if this whole thing turns into a nice big hate America party after all. We know that's how it will go, so aim well you missile men. Make it so nice and flat over there that we will never have to put a boot ashore...except to look for oil. We are going to get some of the oil, for free, for doing this...right?
